Joliet Man Gets DUI #5

Maybe a fifth time is the charm for a Joliet man facing his fifth DUI. 

Jeffery Bick, a resident on the 600 Block of Ida Street, was booked into the Will County Jail around 12:30 in the morning on August 19, 2020. According to Bick’s criminal complaint his prior four DUI’s were all in Will County on November 1, 2018, April 16, 2016, April 13, 2010, and September 1, 2001. 

Now, Bick finds himself unable to pay the 10% ($25,000) of his bail, which is $250,000 total, in order to gain his freedom after being caught under the heavy influence of alcohol. Bick was driving his red Pontiac Grad-AM at the time and his official charge is two felony counts of aggravated driving under the influence per the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office of Jim Glasgow. 

It remains to be seen how long Bick will lose his license or if he will even get it back, however according to cyberdriveillinois.com’s “DUI Fact Book” for Illinois- 291 people were killed in alcohol-related accidents, which made up 28% of the 1,035 total cash fatalities in 2018. Also, per Illinois law, when a person receives their third DUI the charge progresses into a full-blown felony charge. As Bick finds himself stuck in jail on his fifth DUI, there's no word on whether his vehicle was impounded or not and he will have the face the consequences of yet another DUI on his record.
